"American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest has revealed that his girlfriend Julianne Hough has a crush on one of the show's contestants, Phillip Phillips.

"We were backstage and you ran past my girlfriend and she sighed and blushed," explained Seacrest speaking to "American Idol" top six contestant Phillips during the show Wednesday.

The host added of his girlfriend, "I think I heard her say 'Yummy.'"

Hough was clearly enamored with Phillips after his performance of Dave Matthews Band's "The Stone," when cameras caught the actress blushing backstage.

"We'll talk about this later, darling," Seacrest joked to Hough in the episode.

While Phillips earned adoration from Hough, his performance was lambasted as "obscure and artsy" by "Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez. The 21-year-old singer seemed indifferent to Lopez's criticism though, explaining that he was flattered by Hough's attention.

"I ain't complaining, [Hough's] a gorgeous woman and Ryan's an awesome guy so they're an awesome match," said Phillips speaking to Us Weekly backstage. "I think she got all giddy or something but I don't know. It was funny."

"I'm not trying to steal your girl, Ryan," the Georgia native added.

Afterwards, Hough's favorite "Idol" was revealed, her name became a trending topic on Twitter with fans of the show commenting on episode.
